Freshly unpacked and gripped.
6.9 by 21.1/2 by 3 odd.
Yes, 3 fcuken inches thick.
This is going to go like, ummm, fcuking really fast.
Stoked!

Shiva model.
Performance hybrid type I guess.
FCUK load of foam in the mid section, but very tapered out nose/tail, and a soft bevel out to the rail, ergo way thinner rails, tail, than most bigger/older guy boards than I’ve seen.

Looks great, Toots. I'd go one of those if it was a couple of inches longer. Kind of looking for something like that.

Will it be an all rounder for you toots or reserved for different conditions?

What dims channels?
Got one of those a little while back. Bought it as a step up - 6'4". Have only ridden it 3 times but I'm not sure about it, feels a little weird, super stiff, rides like it's a 6"8". Looking at it i anticipated it would be a consistent feeling straightforward step up from the board i have, both have similar outlines, rocker, concave and all that shit. It rides way different.

Na, not yet.
it's designed as a travel board, so I'm told. Glass job feels right, bit heavier.

Got the 6'6". Been out of the water for 4 months with my shoulder, was looking for something predictable with volume to ease back into it.

Spoke to a guy who took his to solid Indo and said he didn't ride any other board the entire time. For powerful waves he gave it a double thumbs up.
